A question about the LED on the Dinc

So normally my LED blinks green when I receive a text. However i use chomp and theres an option in the notifications to change the LED from green to a different color when i get a text. But if i change the color to orange or blue it still blinks green when i get a text. Is there anyway to fix that? is it just mine or can all the Dinc's LEDS not blink a different color? It blinks orange when i have a low batt so im confused.

The incredible supports only the green or amber led alerts. The hardware isn't capable of displaying any other colors like other phones can.

Yea I only have ever seen Green, Red, or Orange
By hardware not capable do you mean the LED does not display any other colors or the phone itself is the problem. Maybe they only used a tri-color LED in the phone..

Sorry yes I meant the led itself is only tricolor.

So is there no way to make an application that can use those 3 colors?

Question about auto brightness...

When set to auto does anyone have the screen lighten up then darken as you browse through a site?
It is really noticeable when I am on Google+(white background). I don't remember having this happen on my G2. Anyways I now don't use auto.
Just wondering if its normal.

It might be that while holding your phone you cover the light sensor and by that simulate dark surroundings?

I would guess that you have it near some surface. So when it shows white background, the light reflects from surface and the sensor thinks its "bright" outside, so turns on the brightness. As you surf and see some picture or change page (or w/e what doesnt have so much white) the sensor detencs that its not that bright anymore and turns down brightness...
Atleast that would be my guess. Screen does make some light and sensor can get affected by it (its above screen, u can see it true glass).

I noticed this too while playing on the demo at a TMobile store. It was only when I went to the HTC Play or movies or whatever it's called. Some of the movies would darken the screen when they started playing. Kind of odd. I wasn't moving around (changing light on the phone). Just standing there at the counter playing with it.

I have noticed this

This happens to me as well, along with this yellow tint when on low brightness, anybody else getting the yellow tint? Or is it just me?

I believe I have seen this as well. Brief, full screen, yellow flicker/tint.
Happened to me during, or immediately after, the unlock/flash/root process, and haven't seen it since. Happened with a new notification came in, seemed to almost revolve around the notification bar. Is this consistent with what you saw?

This is common amongst a lot of light sensors. Happened to me on my Vibrant and when I had a iphone.

Weird screen problem

So I flashed sean's lates 4.2e r3 rom and set one of the new Galaxy S3 wallpapers. Then suddenly I noticed my screen had a streak of dark lines and spots on one area. At first I thought maybe my screen was dirty but it wasn't. I changed the wallpaper to a different one and the streak of dark lines remained. Then I realized maybe I screwed up my screen. I never had this problem with the screen where there are dark spots when the brightness is set to low. My screen was always fine.
Then about few mins ago I had to do a nandroid backup and went back to my previous rom. Guess what, screen was fine, no dark streaks or spots anywhere. Any of you encountered this problem?

This is normal, it has always been like that, but you only noticed it now because you used a dark background. search skyrocket + screen + blobs

Notification Led diode

Hi guys!
Iam having a problem with notification led diode. It doesnt work. I havent seen the light yet.
I just tried Light Flow app but it also wasnt able to light the led up.
So i assume that my phone is broken in that part and the diode just doesnt work on my Nexus 5.
Does anyone have some the same problem?

Figured it would be but had to ask. Factory reset as a last resort maybe?

I installed Light Flow. Took a few minutes before I got any lights.

There's a test mode in light flow. Might be worth trying that too.

Test mode in LF didn't work for me. I was going to uninstall but then I noticed the battery charging light came on. Now all of the programmed lights in LF work for me. I have not retried the test light feature.

light flow might have just glitched up the led for a bit. If it stops working again, try clearing app data, or reinstall, or uninstall light flow altogether. It has been known to have some issues.

In light flow you have to turn off the screen after turning on test mode, if you haven't tried that already.

Yes, the screen MUST be off for the notification light to illuminate. In addition, at least for Light Flow, it can take several seconds for the notifications to light up, even when performing a test.

Same problem here and it's going to back for a refund. It was actually a replacement unit for the first one which had speaker issues.
I tried everything and never saw the light come on once while the first unit worked fine with the same settings.

try this
Hey guys I was having this same problem but I downloaded this app called notification light widget by Motorola and added it to my home screen activated it and my notification light has been working since just tuck the widget away on a side screen . its a good fix for now

Yellow Tint

Hey guys! Ok, so I am aware of the yellow tint that many people are having. I currently use Franco Kernel and Faux's Gamma Calibration App, but I have not found good values yet, and none fix the tint. Anyways, when I reboot my phone, the screen is perfect, but after a few seconds the yellow tint appears. However, the tint only applies to the area above the on screen keys (attached, slightly hard to see). The on screen keys are perfectly white, but the whites above (such as text, icons, etc) are yellow tinted. What I'm trying to say is that the on screen keys are perfect, while the screen above has a yellow tint. Is there a way I can fix this without installing another kernel? I really like Franco's, and do not want to switch
Thanks!

when did the tinting start? have you considered going completely back to stocked unrooted and starting over? just curious.

Tinting started a few weeks ago. It suddenly occurred. I run Lux auto brightness, and disabled to see what would happen but nada.

Wow, so that weird tinting issue was because of Lux!! Uninstalled it and now my screen is much better. The whites are still a little greyish though
